Abstract: Up to now, the postconsolidation bearing capacity enhancement of jack-up spudcan foundation has been explored using centrifuge model tests and numerical analyses, which however ignored the realistic jack-up lattice leg. ...

Abstract: The rapid jack-in process of spudcan footing tends to generate substantial build-up of excess pore pressure below the spudcan underside. An intimate knowledge of the excess pore pressure concentration is thus of significance ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a simple effective stress method for modeling the strain rate-dependent strength behavior that is experienced by many fine-grained soils in offshore events when subjected to rapid, large strain, undrained ...

Abstract: In estimating the vertical bearing capacity of spudcan foundation, the effect of the realistic lattice leg extending from the top of the spudcan is often ignored. This paper examines both the lattice leg and sleeve effect ...
